About Me

My Walk for All the Grandchildren, to confront the perils of climate change, started on March 8, 2009, in Galveston, Texas, and ended on August 29, in Rouses Point, NY. I thank all of you that followed this blog, sending me comments, and even joining me on my walk.
After my Walk I started a Carbon Addiction 10-Step Program to help us all decrease our carbon footprint.
Three blogs address different aspects of my efforts: ForAllTheGrandchildren covers the Walk and new Climate Walks; on my ClimateChangeChildren blog I talk with children who care about the planet and its climate; and 10stepCAP registers communication among the Carbon Addiction Program members.
My website will tell you more about these activites: climatewalk.homestead.com.

Too busy to participate?

I got an email from Paul in Texas, explaining why he was too busy to check the blog as I requested in an email:

Too many of the following--R/r/recycling meeting, Earth Day survey, Grow Local Festival, Southern Plain soils conference, community garden projects--on the plate right now.

As far as I'm concerned, that's as good as reporting in to 10StepCAP. Certainly fulfills steps 7, 8 and 9. Thanks, Paul.

Exciting news! Last night I got a phone call from Jim in Wilkes Barre. He'd received a copy of the Invitation to sign on to 10StepCAP and he found it inspiring, giving him a boost in his flagging efforts to lower his own carbon footprint. He wants to start up an effort to get 100 signees in Wilkes Barre, and I'm encouraging him to consider launching the program there at the same time it is officially launched here, on Earth Day. Jim's call was a huge boost for me! Thanks, Jim.
